On November 24th in sports history, one significant event took place in 1960 when Wilt Chamberlain of the Philadelphia Warriors set a single-game NBA scoring record that still stands today. In a game against the New York Knicks at Hershey Sports Arena in Hershey, Pennsylvania, Chamberlain scored an astonishing 100 points, leading his team to a 169-147 victory.

Chamberlain, known as "The Big Dipper" due to his 7-foot-1-inch height, was unstoppable that night. He made 36 of 63 field goals and an impressive 28 of 32 free throws. His 100-point performance broke the previous record of 78 points, which he had set earlier that same year.

The game was not televised, and no video footage of the event exists. However, there were approximately 4,124 fans in attendance who witnessed history in the making. The closest any player has come to breaking Chamberlain's record since then was Kobe Bryant, who scored 81 points in a game against the Toronto Raptors in 2006.

Wilt Chamberlain's 100-point game remains one of the most iconic moments in NBA history, showcasing his dominance and athleticism. He went on to have an illustrious career, being inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1978 and being named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996.

The story of Chamberlain's record-breaking night has become a legend in the world of sports, with fans and players alike marveling at the incredible feat. It stands as a testament to the heights of individual achievement possible in basketball and serves as an inspiration for generations of athletes to come.
